more strikingly the appearance Of q typical

REAL ESTATE VALUES.
Sioux City has never had . real estate
boom, IN the ordinary sense OF the term. The
their industries, extending their lines Of traf.
DC, constructing railroads, and developing
the resources Of the country, to stop and
spend their time betting on what certain lots
will be worth in thirty or ninety days. A. q
consequences, there has been no gaseous inda-
ton beyond actual values. There has been q
steady appreciation in the prices Of real es.
ttate. and, in fact, the increase has been Of
ate quite rapid; B q IS yet prices are far
ssboomed' towns.
For example, IN Kansas City some Of the
best unimproved lots sell as high - e4,O0O
per front foot. In Omaha 5000 per foot ID
about the high.water mark. In Sioux City
the very best and most eligibly situated VI.
cant lots can he obtained at e60J per front
foot.
It must be seen at . glance that in view Of
the future prospects, Of thi. city price. are
other places wherein the sboomers" have
been operating: Excellent and most prom
Using business lots can be had here ON the
main thoroughfares ct from $500 to 400 per
front foot. As compared with Omaha and
Kansas City these are ssway down. figures.
And this shows Q healthy margin Tor apprect.
alton. In the nature Of things there must be
Q steady advance. The indications are that
the bridge, railroad ~extensi0ns, stock yard
improvements, street car extensions, and
other enterprises will make the increase Of
values OF real estate more marked and rapid
in the near future than It has ever been In
the past. Eligible lots are being eagerly
bought BY capitalists, not to sell again, hui
to cover with substantial buildings and bust,
ness blocks.
In residence properties the same rule pre-
wallis. The increase has been steady, but
dreds Of new homes are being erected in al
spirit shown BY Ill classes to bny . lot and
build . home, be It ever 90 humble. This hai
made the aggregate Of ~transfers quite large
but the prices have not been beyondthe reach
OF men of moderate means.
The city has two frat.class hotels, besides
numerous lesser hostelries Of various grades
